The Kittery Area Comprehensive Transportation System (KACTS) and its consultant team are partnering with the region’s communities to undertake a Safety Action Plan to improve roadway safety outcomes in southern Maine. This effort aims to significantly reduce or eliminate roadway fatalities and serious injuries by transforming how the system is designed, operated, and managed through the application of a Safe System approach and the implementation of Vision Zero principles.

What Is Vision Zero?

Vision Zero is based on a shared responsibility between system designers and users to change the safety culture on the road and has generated significant reductions in roadway tragedies across the globe, with potential to make a strong impact in the United States. By collaborating with community members and leveraging new data-driven analytic methods, the project team will work to uncover the root causes of crashes, identify the areas of highest risk, and develop broad strategies – policies and educational efforts and a prioritized list of projects that will produce a safer transportation system for all users.

Provide Input via the KACTS Safety Action Plan Survey

Everyone who lives, works and plays in Kittery and Southern Maine is encouraged to take the KACTS Safety Action Plan Survey.  The short, anonymous survey aims to reduce driving fatalities/injuries and improve roadways in Berwick, South Berwick, Eliot, Kittery, York, Ogunquit, Wells, Kennebunk, and Kennebunkport.
